#

Farming darkness for the mirror is getting pretty slow now though

#

Would be faster if I didn't do new contracts and higher heats but doing the same heat all over again is lame :p

quiet gull
#

Zero heat runs are much faster, though

#

You can just faceroll whatever and get a couple thousand darkness in an hour

remote forge
#

Well dark thirst isn't cooperating

#

It doesn't want to pick Rail at all haha

#

But I need to do my ||Lucifer|| run

#

@remote forge does the banner say "Perfect catch" if you get it?

#

Yes

JUST TALK TO ME MY DUDES

/throttles them both

#

AND LIKE TO EACH OTHER

#

WAAAAAAAAGh

#

back to just grinding out some more Minor Prophecies until something happens, I guess

mellow pumice
#

oh my god

#

so i'm hunting the last prophecies, right? and im trying to get all legendary boons

#

||demeter|| is last

thorn tendon
#

Yeah I'm on that one as well

#

oh RIP

mellow pumice
#

so i start with the horn keepsake

#

get one boon, it's ||mistral dash|| which is the prerequisite for 2 other boons which are prerequisites for the legendary

austere parcel
#

How many FPS does HADES run on Nintendo Switch?

mellow pumice
#

you need 2 out of ||arctic blast, killing freeze and ravenous will and all but the last one need some sort of "standard" demeter boon||

#

||then two rooms later i actually get killing freeze, so im like cool, already halfway to winter harvest||

gusty slate
#

Oh, I guess you can get 2 hammers in one biome lul

mellow pumice
#

||and up until the second last room in elysium, demeter was unheard of again. anxiety sets in. another useless run?||

gusty slate
#

must believeeee

mellow pumice
#

||then, hope in elysium! i get ravenous will from that one boon i was granted! so i enter styx, check the shop, nothing. just zeus and two poms. great. i check the hallways, there is one with demeter. i have fated persuasion, by the way.||

#

i battle to the end, defeat the gigantic vermin, In the name of Hades, I accept this message!

#

idk why i censored everything

thorn tendon
#

mellow pumice
thorn tendon
#

or did RNG dunk on you yet again

#

HECK YEAH

mellow pumice
#

picks arctic blast troll

thorn tendon
#

Yeah I just got the last of the Duo Boons by managing to get a pair of contradictory/incompatible ones by selling stuff off

#

and I was like nice

#

now I'm onto Legendary Boons, escaping with Hidden Bow, and escaping with each Pact of Punishment, and facing each type of Benefits Package enemy (and then a bunch of story dependant stuff)

mellow pumice
#

wdym incompatible? like hunting blades and later crystal clarity?

thorn tendon
#

Yeah, that was actually exactly it I think

mellow pumice
winter pike
#

Hey I'm carving pumpkins tonight and was wondering if anyone has or knows of a Hades pattern I could do ?

thorn tendon
#

it was two different Demeter ones that you shouldn't be able to do at the same time

winter pike
#

If not I was thinking of just doing the symbols of the Olympians

mellow pumice
#

@winter pike you can just try the little beard symbol that's everywhere

carmine ravine
#

u can ddo bouldy @winter pike

mellow pumice
#

like on the coins

#

BOULDY PUMPKIN OMFG

winter pike
#

BOULDY PUMPKIN GAHAHA

mellow pumice
#

i wonder if everyone knows that the little exclamation mark representing zagreus is actually a flipped hades beard, or if thats like a thing where you smack your forehead later when you find out

royal plinth
#

I thought that was common sense

winter pike
#

I wish I was this talented

mellow pumice
#

i love insane carvings like that

granite ether
#

that's more suited for #fan-works @winter pike

mellow pumice
#

i remember this one luigis mansion pumpkin where on the front it was luigi and on the back onto the wall it would project king boo

winter pike
#

Woops

royal plinth
#

thinkin of making some Hermes duo boons for fun

granite ether
#

it's very pretty :3

mellow pumice
#

i love fan-designed concepts for powers/abilities in games haha

#

i wonder if hades is ever gonna have a modding community like Isaac does

#

probably not, everything very detailed

royal plinth
#

I mean it's possible to just add new boons, but no new lines

granite ether
#

it does, there's a modding discord that gets advertised #self-promotion once every while

mellow pumice
#

wow!

#

but like, theres no steam workshop or anything, is there?

granite ether
#

nah no steam workshop

winter pike
#

Omg. ... IM going to cry

royal plinth
#

It just depends whether or not the devs decide support modding directly like with a workshop like with Slay the Spire or Terraria

granite ether
#

there's no plans from supergiant to officially support mods

mellow pumice
#

dont mind me thinking of all the possibilities, with different fanmade gods and whole abilities and status effects dusa

#

Who knows, this year's been wild

but the game files are open

Wait, i think runs dont have preset gods

I was going off the assumption you start with a seed that contains 4 set gods

#

That's why I didn't understand keepsakes

But so far, I had the option to go for Athena, Poseidon, Ares, Dionysus and Aphrodite (but chose to enter various Gates instead)

i own hades but... would it work well with a ps4 controller.... on the switch... or is that just cursed

i use the joycons detached (like one in each hand) and i dunno i just had this thought earlier

...yeah, uh, Switches won't accept PS4 controllers

brisk trail

Oof

novel wasp
#

use a pro controller

hm yah maybe i should just buy one. my only hesitation is it looks kinda compact/squonked and i was like Would it be very different at all

pro controller is amazing for the switch

its better than joycon

Why do charmed rats do 2k damage to each other lol

nova quartz
#

because damage dealt to Zag is around less than a fourth than the damage in the system

or something like that

so anything that isnt you deals more damage to things that arent you

I finally made my brother play Hades, he likes night mommy lol (he played Dead Cells so explaining the gameplay is easy, explaining the myth did took time haha)

Dead Cells is pog

He was a competitive gamer and prefers fps. The past months i convinced him to play the games im invested in (like undertale)

remote forge
#

I need to get around to playing Pyre

#

Problem is, I don't think I'm going to get bored of Hades any time soon.

#

I played Bastion and Transistor both to death.

now that ive got aspect of guan yu how do i get the other hidden ones

i mean did you really need the touch of styx

They're using Stubborn

delicate pilot
#

oh

quasi olive
#

Do we know approximately how many hours of dialogue have been recorded for the game?

remote forge
#

After Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades, Supergiant is going to have to do something really bold if they want to make a game that's truly different.

#

And what kind of game would be uniquely different from all four so far?

#

A bad game.

sly bolt
#

Props to Supergiant for the mention in this recent interview! DD2 creators site them as an example of the sort of studio they strive to be

#

They mention the success of Hades specifically

remote forge
#

I recently read an interview where someone from SGG cited Darkest Dungeon as one of their inspirations (along like 3 I think..?) for the early access model and roguelite elements

#

So that's cool to see it go full circle

sly bolt
#

That is cool! They discuss early access also

what are the 5 new songs (OST) of the v1.0 launch?

Just bought Hades on switch after loving it on PC, but saw cross save was disabled? When will that be released?

#

Or has there been no update since 1.0 on its status? Just curious

#

Nvrmd saw the announcement my bad

wise stratus
#

Hey, does give up count as an escape attempt?

#

I brought the wrong keepsake

unkempt sleet
#

No

#

In short, giving up resets your savefile to before your run started

wise stratus
#

Really?

#

Okay thank you! ❤️

#

I had ares and athena 4 times in a row

#

then saw I had athena again and it's cause of her keepsake 🙂

unkempt sleet
#

Happens all the time, I have a keepsake that I need for redacted but I forgot to switch before starting a new run

novel leaf
#

hi

#

how do you increase the rarity of boon?

#

i mean i saw people got godlike boon

#

do i have to feed them nectar?

hearty fossil
storm tusk
#

What do bonds do?

brisk trail
#

Nothing, just a chibi portrait on the keepsake

#

And some inspirational quote

#

And a sense of pride and accomplishment.

pine spindle
#

@novel leaf do you mean increase rarity when you find a boon, or after you've picked it?

novel leaf
#

increase rarity when found

pine spindle
#

There are some talents on the mirror of night that increase the chances for better rarities. Also an item you can buy from Charon Wells does it, and a boon from Chaos can increase your chances too

#

But it's essentially luck

#

There is even a Duo boon that makes all future boons found Epic rarity

vapid pollen
#

One of the options from || Eurydice || also increases the rarity of 2 boons. Or 3 future boons.

green pawn
#

Is there going to be any hades content in the future?

brisk trail
#

we don't know

#

judging from their previous work, prolly not. None got anything past v1.0

#

right now they're polishing and balancing

#

then they'll take a nreak before planning their next move

green pawn
#

Ah. Too bad. This is their best game by leaps and bounds

granite ether
#

Tl:dr they're working to ensure everything is polished. They'll then take a break

#

A well deserved one at that

brisk trail
#

which is why I said prolly not, there may be

granite ether
#

What happens after that is for the fates to decide

green pawn
#

Definitely well deserved

brisk trail
#

so stack on a lot of fated authority/persuasion

granite ether
#

Personally I don't think Hades needs more content. As much as it's ripe for it, simerly with all their other IP

green pawn
#

Doesn’t need it, but I want it

brisk trail
#

it could use some new enemies

wise stratus
#

All I'd add is modding support

austere jacinth
#

Doesn’t need it, but I want it
@green pawn Saaaaame. xD

unkempt sleet
#

All I'd add is modding support
@wise stratus there's plenty of mods already and the community says it's incredibly easy to mod

austere jacinth
#

I don't think modders have the tools to pull out the things I want - like new characters and storylines. The voice lines in this game are so intertwined. You can't have a conversation with one character without other characters having an opinion xDD

#

Gossipy shades.

brisk trail
#

you sort of can tho you'll have to find someone who can immitate the OG voice actors

#

which is the hardest part

austere jacinth
#

Yep.

brisk trail
#

it was done before, some tf2 animators, Bungie did with Cayde-6's voice actor for a short time. Only the examples I know

austere jacinth
#

I'd just prefer something official for stuff like that.

#

Not least because the writing and characterisation is so darn good ^^

rare obsidian
#

Man, I thought Approval Process would only show two boons in the selection window. Somehow having one crossed out makes it feel way worse

austere jacinth
#

I know!

#

What you could have had T.T

rare obsidian
#

Prolly shouldn't be farming duos with it tbh

wheat kayak
#

farming duos with AP on

#

that's a bold move to say the least

woven cipher
#

anyone know the bounce count of the special on the shield?

wheat kayak
#

2 targets by default iirc

#

2-3

rare obsidian
#

Not actually doing that, mostly trying to get the "break free with all parts of the pact" ticked off

wheat kayak
#

ah fair enough

woven cipher
#

ah ok, thanks

rare obsidian
#

I've been really undervaluing stygian soul

wise stratus
#

eww stygian soul 🙂

rare obsidian
#

Seems really good with trippy shot thanthink

wise stratus
#

but what about 8 trippy shots?

rare obsidian
#

Surely if you have the +1 cast from the well and the double-but-weaker cast boon then you could get 8 trippy shots out regardless

wheat kayak
#

Stygian Soul is easier for me to manage if I'm not focusing on cast at all anyway

brisk trail
#

how can you get the other 5? I know two from Artemis legendary, and one from chaos

wheat kayak
#

And I usually don't

#

Charon well items add casts too

rare obsidian
#

(I counted that!)

tough tartan
#

Hi, is it ok for me to ask for a save file here? I played the switch version and don't wanna grind again on PC

#

I get some speed run save file but unfortunately they don't date Thanatos 🤣

austere jacinth
#

You mean they ||turned him down?|| Or did they just ||not gift him?||

wheat kayak
#

wrong chat, stranger?

#

wait no nvm I can't read

tough tartan
#

Yeah they ||turned him down||

austere jacinth
#

||Worst option. Get a better save file T.T|| xDD

rare obsidian
#

Still got the duo boon with approval process, phew

strange ingot
#

I wonder if any gods/goddesses got left on the cutting room floor

#

Like ||Apollo, Hera, Nike, Hephaestus||

astral osprey
#

||Hestia||

austere jacinth
#

There are some old datamined things for Apollo, from an older build.

#

And there are references to a whole bunch of gods and goddesses, such as. ||Apollo, Hera, Hestia, Eris, Nemesis, Hephaestus, Helios, the Fates, and probably others I forget.||

strange ingot
#

Is it bad that I view the designs in this game as the iconic designs for the gods

#

I was watching Blood of Zeus the other day and the design for ||Dionysus|| in that is just laughable

exotic basalt
#

Yeah the characters in Hades look so nice

#

When someone mentioned Greek mythology before Hades my mind always imagined the Disney iterations, but I think that might change now

astral osprey
#

Disney?

exotic basalt
#

As in Hercules

strange ingot
#

Tbh the show is just a treat for the eyes and nothing more, ||Hades appears at the end of the last episode and similarly looks awful||

austere jacinth
#

Someone posted a meme of Blood of Zeus's Dio contrasted with Hades's Dio with 'before and after inventing that thing for Prosymnos' >.> xDD

astral osprey
#

Ah never watched that

austere jacinth
#

I'll probably give it a shot once I can clear some of the Hades brainfog.

strange ingot
#

Just be warned, you won't get an iota of the dialogue quality that you get in Hades or Castlevania

austere jacinth
#

That's fine. It might still be an enjoyable way to wile away some time one day.

strange ingot
#

Like I really tried to enjoy this series, but it's hard when the main hero's main character trait is simply 'nice'

austere jacinth
#

Zag is nice too.

strange ingot
#

I guess Castlevania spoiled me

#

Yeah, but not in a boring way

#

Oops

#

Uh, guess reckless will just do

#

Foolhardy?

#

Yeah, there's more to Zag than just being nice

austere jacinth
#

I mean, Zag's shockingly nice for a video game protagonist. It's refreshing to see a short, extremely generous, generally polite and respectful young man rather than a trauma-magnet 'gritty' and grizzled dude who's become jaded through loss. Too many of that type imo.

strange ingot
#

And yet he still has a rebellious and snarky streak

And yah, Zag's reckless, restless and interfering too.

strange ingot
#

He's no THE GODS MUST PAY sort of dude

austere jacinth
#

Except that one~ xDD

strange ingot
#

I think the most important thing is

#

Zag knows how to have fun

austere jacinth
#

Yes he does. 'What's life without a little pain', 'the perks of punishment' etc. etc. Oh, Zag.

#

I know what you mean though, he's not a miserable, socially isolating brood machine xDD

strange ingot
#

Even with his 'edgy' character design

hello

dark scroll
#

Well we don't have a lot of miserable, socially isolating brood machines either. ;p

astral osprey
#

Yes he does. 'What's life without a little pain', 'the perks of punishment' etc. etc. Oh, Zag.
Meg would like to know your location

strange ingot
#

Black and red, mismatched eyes, this and that

austere jacinth
#

His design diverges from a lot of protagonists in a pretty interesting way too - he's short.

strange ingot
#

He's a real escapist character while also doing his own thing

dark scroll
#

@austere jacinth !!!!

austere jacinth
#

He's one of the shortest characters in the game.

next canopy
#

does anyone have some tips for 3rd boss?

dark scroll
#

He's height challenged.

strange ingot
#

||He got that from his grandpappy||

next canopy
#

it's the only thing that i have difficulties to pass x)

dark scroll
#

@next canopy Well, take your time, dodge and try not to rush is the most important thing I can say.

#

I did that a lot in the beginning.

#

Trying to get in close and deal a lot of damage and end up taking more.

#

And ofc focus on 1 first, ussually bull I'd say, depends on build.

austere jacinth
#

Theseus is the same height, and Skelly slouches so he's hard to judge. Dusa... well, she's the shortest. But Zag's not the usual big, imposing dude.

strange ingot
#

@next canopy ||Don't know if you have it but Adamant Rail with Aspect of Eris is really good||

i passed them cause i had a broken throw

@strange ingot i'm at my 13th run

and nearly got final boss my run before x)

The shield is another great choice

next canopy
#

sure

#

1st time i got there i had the shield and i nearly killed em

rare obsidian

Wow, very good temple of styx. Two chamber satyr sack and I was able to sell Exclusive Access to afford the titans blood

but the call made me panic and bruh

final boss has some first time panic moments too. ;p

strange ingot

||Aspect of Chaos is my favorite for dealing with them, it's very good for crowd control with the final boss too||

it sure does for the first time
tho he's also a sitting during the call

@dark scroll he didn't gave me panic but it's aids got me x)

You will, I won't say more. ;p

next canopy
#

hmm

idk i downed him to 1/4 life

Well next time you'll get him!

#

Or 10 times after that. ;p

i didn't saw the difficulty on my 1st try x)

||Provided you use the right timing, Aphrodite's Aid is fantastic||

dark scroll
#

You don't have to spoiler everything about skills. Certainly not at this point and this channel. ;p

strange ingot
#

Really

dark scroll
#

And be sure to check out the boons in the menu from the gods, see the requirements and such.

strange ingot
#

So I won't raise any eyebrows if I say Ares has the worst aid?

dark scroll
#

I'll concur.

next canopy
#

then like i said only 3rd zone is giving me some trouble

dark scroll
#

Maybe zeus if you use them alone. Ares can give you a dodge moment.

next canopy
#

(and some minibosses in the asphodèle)

dark scroll
#

But as I said certain skill requirs other boons first, knowing which can make your build better too.

strange ingot
#

I'm not a fan of Athena's that much, though I will say I don't get many runs where I can pick her Aid

rare obsidian
#

Victory!

dark scroll
#

Her aid is solid but tis just a dodge moment for damage, not very epic. ;p

strange ingot
#

Aphrodite and Artemis are the best IMO

dark scroll
#

and her ult is bad actually since you want to use them seperately

next canopy
#

artemis i can agree

strange ingot
#

But with Aphrodite you cannot use unless it's maxed out

dark scroll
#

artemis ult is great but seperate is meh again.

next canopy
#

but aphrodite is good?

austere jacinth
#

I use Aphro's a lot, yeah.

dark scroll
#

poseidon is tend to use to clear rooms or dodge boss hits

austere jacinth
#

She's also my fave of the female Olympians. Although I like ||Demeter's|| status more.

strange ingot
#

||Demeter's|| aid is fantastic too

#

Particularly her summon quotes

#

Very boastful

next canopy
#

just unlocked her so i can't tell

dark scroll
#

Picking someone based on quotes.

#

You are playing Hades right!

strange ingot
#

It's like playing Pokémon

austere jacinth
#

The characterisation in this game is so good. Gotta get all the quotes!

strange ingot
#

You play with your favourites

next canopy
#

btw the Ares shot + the duo with artemis that allow the tornados to chase enemies

#

just completly noice

austere jacinth
#

Ares ❤️

exotic basalt
#

Never been able to make a good blade rift build yet, I wanna do it

strange ingot
#

Ares has the best design for the god of war

dark scroll
#

Blade rift can be strong but it is something thats weak, and weak and weak and then strong when you finally get multiple boons for it.

strange ingot
#

Like in any depiction

next canopy
#

hmm i don't agree with that

austere jacinth
#

Ares also has the best characterisation I've seen in a modern adaptation.

#

He's not this wild villain. -flails about-

strange ingot
#

In God of War his hair and beard is too, I don't know, angry Scot

austere jacinth
#

And his design is spectacular.

next canopy
#

i have the habits to see him with an helmet

#

so i prefer with helmet x)

austere jacinth
#

He carries a helmet in Hades.

strange ingot
#

In that Blood of Zeus show he looks like Oscar Isaac

#

Not very imposing

next canopy
#

ah

#

never saw it

dark scroll
#

Hercules Ares best Ares.

strange ingot
#

It just came out

austere jacinth
#

Ares is... a god driven by passion and love for those close to him.

next canopy
#

i'm more focused on the text x)

strange ingot
#

Did Ares appear in Hercules?

#

I haven't watched that film for ages

next canopy
#

euhh no?

dark scroll
#

Series.

#

Duh.

next canopy
#

i can't tell too x)

strange ingot
#

Oh

#

That one with Kevin Sorbo?

next canopy
#

their was a series on Hercules?

dark scroll
#

The one and only.

strange ingot
#

Never watched that tbh

#

There was a Disney Hercules series too

dark scroll
#

Solid action with lots of comedy.

strange ingot
#

Not on Disney+

austere jacinth
#

Nah, I like Hades's Ares most. He's respectful, interested in the Chthonic and not a raging ass.

dark scroll
#

Well ofc not, it has violence. ;p

next canopy
#

@austere jacinth only if you don't pick him 1st in case of a duo room x)

austere jacinth
#

Well, you insulted him! xDD

strange ingot
#

I like how manipulative Ares looks in this game

#

He could invoke war amongst others

#

Rather than wage it himself

next canopy
#

excuse me but i prefer to have some artemis stuff before ares XD

dark scroll
#

Now trying to get some good early boons for the "win twice in a row" fight. I get em, i can't fight, i don't, i can fight...

austere jacinth
#

Ares is... about as close to a feminist as any Greek God gets. I'll never forgive DC for making him the villain of the Amazons when he's their patron originally!

next canopy
#

btw i didn't see zeus that much in all my runs, is he a rare god to have?

dark scroll
#

Not at all.

#

RNG.

#

I had him like 12 times in 1 run (with keepsake).

next canopy
#

then rng trolls me again

#

only giving me Hermes x)

austere jacinth
#

Also, Ares is... less manipulative when it comes to war than Athena. When Ares himself takes to the field it's usually because of personal reasons. He kills Poseidon's son when the kid assaults his daughter, and he's prepared to break all the rules when his son goes down in the Illiad. Ares is the bloodlust and passion of war. Athena is strategy and military.

strange ingot
#

||Athena is a background character in Blood of Zeus btw, if you intend on watching||

#

||So are all the goddesses except Hera||

austere jacinth
#

Athena is my least fave god in the Classical Greek pantheon. Buuut she's pretty interesting in Hades, without losing all of the character flaws that define her (and any Greek god, really xDD).

brisk trail
#

happy hween

strange ingot
#

The racial diversity in Hades is great too

tough tartan
#

Blood of Zeus looks kinda bland for me lol

strange ingot
#

Yeah sure, worshipped originally in Greece, but mind that their domain is the entire earth and heavens

austere jacinth
#

The diversity in Hades is brilliant. I've not seen a game this good with it in a long while.

tough tartan
#

Hades is actually how I imagine Greek Gods to be, they are god they can't possibly look like typical Greek person

austere jacinth
#

I especially like that bi is the 'default'. I don't think I've seen that before.

wheat kayak
#

I thought Athena, Ares et al darker complexion checks out since Mediterranean people can be dark skinned too

dark scroll
#

!@#$ diversity, pick whats good not because its 'diverse'.

tough tartan

But Diverse is better than bland...

austere jacinth
#

What's good is diverse.

tough tartan
dark scroll
#

Whats good is good.

strange ingot
#

Greece was the hub of commerce in the Mediterranean too

#

The Chtonic gods being pale af is obvious though, they're denizens of the underworld and whatnot

#

besides we don't have any token characters

strange ingot
#

No sun, no tan

tender blaze
#

Welp finally here

dark scroll
#

Maybe not but the bottomline stayts the same. 🙂

austere jacinth
#

They just did a really great job with the designs. The Chthonic gods have a couple of Egyptian nods in their stylings btw, which I thought helped to distinguish them.

tender blaze
#

Ah

austere jacinth
#

I also really like one little detail - Achilles is beardless, Patroclus isn't. As it should be.

#

That's how it is in the Illiad, and that has meaning in Ancient Greece.

tough tartan
#

Maybe he is not dead yet 😂

austere jacinth
#

He's probably dead, given how long Achilles has been serving the House.

tough tartan
#

True

austere jacinth
#

I'd love to see him though. And... like any other Greek god or legend in SGG style.

tough tartan
#

We need Hades 2

#

Or like 10 DLC

#

😔

austere jacinth
#

Someone did a great Apollo and Hyacinth. I'd like to see Than, Hypnos and Charon's missing brother (and sisters) too.

strange ingot
#

I love how Hades is number three for all games on the Switch charts, and number one for downloads too

austere jacinth
#

Good!

strange ingot
#

Like it was competing with 3D All Stars when it first came out

tough tartan
#

I have been a fan of SGG since Bastion launched and they deserve all the praises

strange ingot
#

But that game is dropping down to number 9

tough tartan
#

I tried to get my girlfriend to play SGG but she refused until now 😂

dark scroll
#

Gotta train her better!

austere jacinth
#

Hades is my first SGG but it sold me on... everything they've done.

strange ingot
#

Like what were Nintendo expecting, they expect 50 squids for three games relatively unchanged since the initial release

dark scroll
#

Lock her in a room with Bastion, Transistor and the others and nothing else.

tough tartan
#

Dhidydjdh I did but she also learn the stubbornness from me

strange ingot
#

While with Spyro and Crash you get three fully remade games for less

#

I think Hades has sold me on indie games in general

dark scroll
#

That happened 20+ years ago already. ;p

#

There plenty of indiegames out there of which people don't realise they are indie.

granite sail
#

..... I bought Hades for my 14 year old brother a few days ago and he just cleared it for the first time. It took me like at least a week to get my first clear.

dark scroll
#

Indie is also a weird title in a way.

#

People often relate it to small studio's.

#

Some of the biggest are still indie.

austere jacinth
#

That has become the norm though, the small-studio, non-AAA stuff as indie.

tough tartan
#

Gdjdgdgdh children has very good reflex and also they have all the time in the world

#

I can only beat Hades at 80% God mode

#

I am strictly turn-based player so no shame here 😂

strange ingot
#

I might restart Hades without God Mode

dark scroll
#

I don't think I could play it with god mode. ;p

granite sail
#

Well he plays a lot of rogue like games so I think he's just good at these types of games.

strange ingot
#

I forget if Mystery Dungeon counts as a roguelike

tough tartan
#

I feel like God mode + high heat is more fun than just no god mode and low heat

dark scroll
#

But hellmode is too annoying in a way so normal mode it is.

strange ingot
#

Doesn't Hell Mode make you weaker

dark scroll
#

yes and no

austere jacinth
#

I think those smaller studios can be more creative. I don't think Zag is the ideal 'market-tested' protagonist, and the game is probably too bi for the Russian or Chinese market.

tough tartan
#

It is restricted, like a typical rogue-like usually be

#

(Not that I know a lot, I just tried to get into rogue-like before turn back to playing FF7R lmao)

dark scroll

Hades Wiki

Hell Mode is a harder difficulty option that may be selected when creating a new save file. This option cannot be changed later and disables God Mode from use. Selecting Hell Mode has Zagreus start the game with the Pact of Punishment immediately in use. The Pact of Punishment...

#

Personal Liability, which removes the impervious shield that Zagreus briefly gains upon taking burst damage.

#

meh

#

make it luckbased more, 1 wrong enemy and 100->9

I like that God Mode exists. I'm not using it, but I've managed to coerce some story-focused friends to play because of it.

tough tartan

True if it not for God mode I would have stay on YouTube lmao

#

I can play without God mode now but I also like playing on high heat more

strange ingot

I could do with a God mode for Bloodborne

tough tartan

It's like wishing a God mode for Dark Soul

I've played some of it, but the game freaks me out too much to continue past the Forbidden Woods

a new game+ would be amazing

Isn't Sekiro supposed to be easy, or easier I guess

Sekiro requires timing

It's basically one way you can play Soulsborne. It's a lot less flexible and for me, a lot less fun.

Sekiro, this is.

It's a parry game.

He reacts to all of your hidden aspects pretty much

zealous fiber
#

Yeah, the amount of dialogue surrounding the different weapons is kinda nuts

robust sundial
#

||Zeus shields ? Pah !||

tough tartan
#

@warm wedge Yeah, I do like魯迅 tho, some of the ancient writer gives me cringe

austere jacinth
#

Apparently there's a theme with the hidden Aspects, but I can't work it out. -ponders-

warm wedge
#

@warm wedge Yeah, I do like魯迅 tho, some of the ancient writer gives me cringe
@tough tartan that yeah some of it its bc its outdated beliefs it happens, it its a really old book

robust sundial
#

hidden aspects are all brutes ? wait, the bow doesn't fit... :/

zealous fiber
#

Nah, it's not that

warm wedge
#

i wouldnt really call lucifer a brute?

zealous fiber
#

Are we talking about ALL aspects because some of them still draw from the Greek Pantheon

#

So thematically-wise, it doesn't make much sense

wheat kayak
#

they are all mythological figures though Guan Yu was a real person.. I guess

zealous fiber
#

Guan Yu was a real person but he lived in the second century

#

The stories surrounding him are on Jesus levels of esoteric

tough tartan
#

Also Lucifer is a mad lad in the update 😂 I love it.
Also it could be Lucifer as in the archangel

#

(His name means light I think)

warm wedge
#

the story itself is a myth but has real historical references

zealous fiber
#

Lightbringer

#

Which is why pew pew sparky bolts gives you the words for that aspect

#

Because he also brings forth light, figuratively speaking

tough tartan
#

Ahahaha

zealous fiber
#

LIGHTning

austere jacinth
#

Is the theme light then? -ponders-

zealous fiber
#

For that particular interaction, yes

#

Overall? Probably not

#

And thats 120+ hours (on Switch).

#

You can cancel crosssaves now. ;o

#

i have 100+ hours but going strong haha

#

im still grinding for late game cosmetics

I like the variety in the hidden Aspects. Although there are two of ||British origin. Although Beowulf wasn't British as a character. And Arthur's legend got a lot of French additions.||

dark scroll
#

EGS has another 7-10 days or so but most was before act 4 and such.

zealous fiber
#

I think it's fair to call the latter a British legend

quiet gull
#

||Beowulf|| is by no means a "British character" lol

tough tartan
#

I am at 167 hours on Switch alone

#

GWmythiFeelsBadMan I have no life

austere jacinth
#

||He's not at all British as a character, but the poem from which he hails is English.||

tough tartan
#

My joy con is broken and I have to use ps4 controller now 😂

austere jacinth
#

So the source is English, even if the character isn't, you know?

tough tartan
#

Ye

strange ingot
#

Joy con drift is resulting in the wrong boons sometimes being selected

tough tartan
#

My drift is so terrible Zag always walk into lava

#

So... I bought the fake pro controller

strange ingot
#

Like I was at half health and wanted Nourished Soul, but ended up selecting Ravenous Will

#

Tbh that one perfectly describes the drift

austere jacinth
#

My drift is so terrible Zag always walk into lava
@tough tartan This is my pro strat. I can never avoid wading into lava.

obsidian cypress
#

I'm sorry but the fcking 3rd boss is not okay.

unkempt sleet
#

What do you mean

obsidian cypress
#

Can I say what boss it is or is it a spoiler?

unkempt sleet
#

Just call them T and A

obsidian cypress
#

The piece of hecc grasshopping horse.

strange ingot
#

Shrek and Donkey

obsidian cypress
#

Yeah, I'm just mad rn.

strange ingot
#

My drift always shows up in menus for whatever reason

#

In other games too, not actual gameplay

obsidian cypress
#

He hits me when I'm 10 metres away from him.

#

And I'm not talking about the following shockwave.

strange ingot
#

Pokémon Shield, missed catching an Ultra Beast because of menu drift

wheat kayak
#

that sounds like T/A EM3

obsidian cypress
#

What the f is EM3?

wheat kayak
#

oh

#

You mentioned the shockwave so

strange ingot
#

I call that dude Char

wheat kayak
#

nvm about that SVDerp

obsidian cypress
#

Lmao.

#

He is so goddamn tanky.

#

He has no fricking weakness.

#

High mobility, super tanky, high damage.

wheat kayak
#

he does, it's called hit at him til he dies

#

ahem

unkempt sleet
#

As with literally everything else, you need to dash behind him

wheat kayak
#

Yeah, uh, about that

#

eyes redacted

obsidian cypress
#

I defeated him once.

#

And then yeah... we all know what comes after.

wheat kayak
#

I usually just dash away from him since I suck at timing his swings

obsidian cypress
#

This game is like Geometry Dash, but like 10 times more time consuming.

#

You reach a certain point, die and every once in a while you get a little further.

strange ingot
#

I find the ranged weapons best with them

unkempt sleet
#

I don't see the comparison

strange ingot
#

Also Divine Dash

obsidian cypress
#

Athena never shows up for me.

wheat kayak
#

Make her

unkempt sleet
#

Athena in general helps against A

wheat kayak
#

Use her keepsake

#

that's the surefire way to get her boons

obsidian cypress
#

But then I can't be simping for Aphrodite.

unkempt sleet
#

That sounds like a you problem

wheat kayak
#

You can swap out keepsakes between regions

tough tartan
#

3rd boss is actually easier at EM3

strange ingot
#

EM Donkey when he's doing that cyclone swing is just awful though

obsidian cypress
#

Yeah, I know.

strange ingot
#

You gotta dodge dodge dodge

obsidian cypress
#

I'm actually swapping my boons constantly.

unkempt sleet
#

How are you doing with mirror?

wheat kayak
#

Honestly I just stay very far away from him when he's doing that

strange ingot
#

Picking Lambent Plume can help, use at the start of the run if Elysium takes too long

tough tartan
#

At EM3 you only need to attack the furry from afar and avoid bombs

wheat kayak
#

Without any ranged option he's basically invulnerable with extra steps

obsidian cypress
#

Yeah, I'll try again another time.

wheat kayak
#

so I go bully masked boi in the meantime

tough tartan
#

Without EM tho.... I freakin hate the shield...

strange ingot
#

EM snek sucks

wheat kayak
#

if your loadout isn't bursty yeah it's an issue

strange ingot
#

Lava everywhere

wheat kayak
#

EM2+HS

#

time to die

strange ingot
#

It's a mosh pit

tough tartan
#

I am not afraid of Snake but I really hate lava

quiet gull
#

EM2+HS
@wheat kayak F

tough tartan
#

It ruins my Pierced Butterfly every time

#

😔

thorny crescent
#

there needs to be a boon that makes you completely immune to traps

strange ingot
#

I don't use Pierced Butterfly too much, I generally start with whatever Olympian I want, then the chtonic purse for extra dosh

thorny crescent
#

and make it super rare idk

austere jacinth
#

Sure Footing makes you almost immune.

#

Athena

thorny crescent
#

Oh what does it do again?

#

I rarely ever pick Athena after getting my dash and call from here

quiet gull
#

Reduces Trap Damage

#

By up to 90%

#

Basically a requirement if you wanna run HS

thorny crescent
#

Athena dash is like in my top 3 boons in the game

strange ingot
#

||Persephone's pom for Elysium, if I need the Lucky Tooth for the last area I'll take it but otherwise I'll keep that pom flower as you get some good dialogue from doing so||

#

Artemis' seeking arrow boon is my favorite from her

long field
#

Don't you mean Artemis in that context?

strange ingot
#

Whoops

dark scroll
#

Heroic Sure footing, basicly heals you for stepping in traps.

#

Sortoff.

#

Almost.

wheat kayak
#

Sure Footing stops being a meme boon the moment you turn on HS

zealous fiber
#

I love using the pom on the last level, so many chambers :B

true pulsar
#

the game is offering me an anvil but i only have 1 daedalus upgrade

#

i thought you needed 2 upgrades for the anvil to be there?

#

or am i wrong

dark scroll
#

Well obviously. ;p

#

It's simple 1 gone, 2 back.

#

so 1->2 2->3

true pulsar
#

okay i just thought you needed 2 daedalus upgrades before you can get anvil

quiet gull
#

Nope!

lone patrol
#

so i finally beat 32 heat

dark scroll
#

claps

#

claps

#

claps

lone patrol
#

i gotta hand it to supergiant games. their vanilla difficulty is pretty well tuned. and then the extra difficulty is like "i will ltierally stab you every time you take a breath"

austere jacinth
#

Well done, dude!!

dark scroll
#

claps

austere jacinth
#

I will likely never get to that point.

dark scroll
#

I want asteriks!

lone patrol
#

yea i am too stubbern to quit

#

skelly said i couldnt do it, so i had to prove him wrong

#

took me 79 attempts and (i kid you not) 69 hours total ingame time

#

i might have died on pupose because of a bad roll 10 times, so it might actually be 69 69

austere jacinth
#

Ha

sharp fossil
#

nice

austere jacinth
#

I've done more runs than that, but I'm just playing where the thirst tells me and upping the Heat one at a time. Maybe I'll get there one day xDD

lone patrol
#

i also upped the heat by 1, but it felt so easy. "ugh this game is too easy" i thought

#

"i can clear the entire game without even using DD" i said

#

"40% forced overtime and 100% hard labor sounds like a great combo"

regal solar
#

14 runs, stuck in Mino..and Theseus.......but it still nice game 🙂

sharp fossil
#

yeah putting the heat up by 1 got painful fast for me as well lol

#

those are a great combo

quiet gull
#

FO might legit be the hardest pact

sharp fossil
#

lol no way

#

RI4 and AP2 both spring to mind as demonstrably harder

austere jacinth
#

I'm happy enough going one-by-one atm. We'll see if that continues xDD

flat vapor
#

bp2
em||4||
ri4

quiet gull
#

Oh yeah, I forgot about those cause I straight up pretend they dont exist 😛

#

EM4 aint THAT hard...... on its own

austere jacinth
#

||EM4 is awesome fun.||

sharp fossil
#

i don’t think BP2 is harder than FO2

#

EM||4|| probably is tho

flat vapor
#

nah the real difficulty is when you put them together

austere jacinth
#

||How dare he bring the dog into this!||

flat vapor
#

fo2 speeder cloner wringers? just kill me

sharp fossil
#

truth

#

yeah comparing them by themselves is actually kinda hard

lone patrol
#

fo2 speed skulls are the hardest boss in the entire game

sharp fossil
#

like, HL5 or LC4 by themselves? i don’t care that’s only 4-5 heat either way

quiet gull
#

Heat should really be a multiplier instead of straight additive

sharp fossil

it basically is
